His Assassin

Chapter 17: Warning

Vixen

"Why the hell is he here?"

For me, it wasn't what Jason asked, it was the tone he took when he asked it.

"...are you mad? Why are you mad?" I was confused.

"Vixen, I want to be with you! I fucking love you!" He declared.

"You're breaking the agreement. We established that we would only be friends with benefits, no feelings of love or attachment are permitted. If they do come up, we are to let each other know."

"That's what I'm doing!"

"Dude, you're here at my door with flowers and a bear. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like you came here to make me your girlfriend." I crossed my arms over my chest and glared at him.

"You're right..."

"Yea, that's not letting me know, that's springing it on me and expecting me to love you back. You're too late anyway, I'm Jesse's girlfriend. I was going to tell you last night, but as you can see, I got distracted."

"You guys just got together, can't we try?"

"No, I'm with Jesse. Don't be upset. I was never upset when you went off with your girlfriends, so don't be upset because I have a boyfriend. While I have Jesse, you know that our friends with benefits agreement is off. It may even be terminated since you're in love with me. Have a nice day." I started closing my door.

"NO," he kept the door open, "I DESERVE TO BE WITH YOU, NOT HIM! I know you, I know what you like, I know how you got to the facility, I know your medical records..."

"Yea? Well I know I please her better than you ever could." Andy took a few steps closer.

Jason put more force on the door, trying to get inside, "I BEG TO DIFFER-"

"Jason, you may know me a little, but you don't know us." I gestured between Andy and I.

"What should I know about you two?"

"None of your business, but I love that man. I will choose Jesse over and over again, no matter what. You and I, we don't have a chance anymore, so let it go."

"Maybe one day, you will choose me, and I'll be waiting." He still handed me the flowers and teddy bear. "The day he crosses you is the day you're mine."

Jason quickly took my hand and kissed it, then ran away. Andy almost made it past me to follow him, but I caught his wrist.

I sighed while closing the door, "I'm so sorry about that, but don't go after him. He's not trained to fight like us."

"It's alright...did you really mean what you said?" Andy gave me a little smile.

"I meant everything."

"You'd choose me? Over and over again?" He came up to me, setting his hands on my waist.

"Of course. I wouldn't want anyone else." I told him.

"...you're my dream," he leaned down and nudged my nose, "you've always been my dream. I will love you until my last breath."

I couldn't help but smile, "you were my hero back then, and you're my hero now. I will love you until my heart gives out."

Andy kissed my forehead, then took the flowers and bear from my hand, "did you want to keep these?"

"No, I can live without them." I shook my head.

He walked over to my patio door and threw the items outside, "I can always get you something better."

We went to my kitchen where I started making the pancake batter, "your mom is gonna be so excited that we're together again. When are we telling her?"
